Chapter 661: Giving Too Much Face
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Zheng Zhong Shan had a stern look on his face as he led everyone towards Director Chen’s place.
Everyone had a little rage in their hearts. They had interacted with Elder Lin before and they knew that he was a really capable person. His Chinese arts skills drew their admiration. Now the incident had caused Elder Lin to want to leave the association, it was a monstrous cri.
Not far away, the teachers in charge of judging the Youth Cup were discussing.
“Elder Qiu, sothing seems to have co up regarding the Youth Cup. Wang Hao Yang’s drawing has drawn suspicion. They suspect that we made an underhanded deal.”
Elder Qiu knew about this but there was nothing he could do. Director Chen had already spoken on this matter, what could he possibly do? One of the leaders’ child wanted to get first prize, they had no choice but to agree.
The Youth Chinese Arts Cup wasn’t so important competition. Its impact was very small. Hence, whether there was corruption in the judging didn’t matter.
If it had been a large-scale competition, they wouldn’t have dared.
But who would’ve thought that even in the small competition, soone would expose their corruption?
“Elder Qiu, do you think we’ll be in trouble? After all, we’re the teachers that did the judging. If things get out of hand, it will be hard for us to explain ourselves.”
Elder Qiu was silent for a mont. At that mont, he saw President Zheng. “Let’s not talk for now. President Zheng is here.”
When the rest heard this, they looked over quickly. When they saw who had co, they all stood to the side. Although they were association mbers, they were far from being in the association’s inner circle.
Zheng Zhong Shan was blazing with rage. But he suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked at Elder Qiu.
When Elder Qiu saw that the President was looking at him, he smiled and nodded. “President Zheng.”
But what made Elder Qiu feel as if sothing was wrong was that President Qiu had a strange look in his eyes as he looked at Elder Qiu.
“President, what’s wrong?” asked Elder Qiu cautiously. He was more than ten years younger than the President and he knew about the President’s background. Hence, he was feeling very nervous.
Elder Zheng took a deep breath and said, “Let ask you since you were the judge for the Youth Chinese Arts Cup, how did you guys choose the winners for the first and second prize? Were there any underhanded deals? I want you to answer honestly. I don’t want to hear a single lie.”
Elder Qiu and the rest were dumbfounded. They had never expected even the President to know about this. Moreover, the President looked very displeased.
At that mont, their hearts were all filled with nervousness.
Tao Shi Gang was a little angry as well but he held it in. “Lil’ Qiu, what exactly is going on. I know you. You definitely wouldn’t do such a thing. Tell honestly what happened.”
He had a pretty good relationship with Lil’ Qiu. Naturally, he had to let Lil’ Qiu know the severity of the matter. If Lil’ Qiu tried to hide the truth in front of Elder Zheng, he would probably be kicked from the association.
At that mont Lil’ Qiu understood the severity of the matter. Then, without hiding anything, he explained the whole situation.
In the office.
Director Chen was leisurely smoking a cigarette inside. Then, a phone call ca.
“Leader, what is it?”
“Lil’ Chen, I’ve heard that there’s been an issue,” said the leader.
When Director Chen heard this, he smiled, “Don’t worry, leader. This matter is under control. I’ve already clarified things on Weibo. There won’t be any problems.”
The leader replied, “Mmm since you’re taking care of things, I don’t have to worry. I will rember this favor.”
Director Chen smiled, “Thank you, leader.”
Bam!
At that mont, the office door was flung open violently.
Director Chen looked a little displeased. Who was being so rude, entering without knocking? But when he saw who it was, his expression changed instantly. He stood up imdiately and said, “President Zheng, why are you here?”
He knew about this old man’s identity. Although the old man was already retired, he still maintained his dignity.
“Hmph!” Zheng Zhong Shan snorted. “Who are you talking to?”
“This...” Director Chen started stamring. Then, he wanted to put the phone back into his pocket but Zheng Zhong Shan would not let him do that.
“Give the phone,” said Zheng Zhong Shan sternly as he stepped forward.
Director Chen was in a tough spot but in front of Elder Zheng, he could only pass the phone over obediently.
“I’m Zheng Zheng Shan. Who are you?” Zheng Zhong Shan knew that the person on the phone was the behind-the-scenes manipulator. He had overheard the conversation just now from outside. However, he held in the rage in his heart. He wanted to see just who it was who dared to do sothing like this in his association.
When the person on the other end of the call heard this, he said respectfully, “Nice to et you, Elder Zheng, I’m Lil’ Wang, Wang Cheng.”
At that mont, Zheng Zhong Shan’s rage completely erupted. “I don’t care who you are. You’ve gone too far. Let tell you that if I don’t manage to resolve this issue, you can expect to be removed from your appointnt.”
Bam!
He hung up the call.
Director Chen just stood there, not daring to move at all. He suddenly realized that this situation had gotten complicated. Elder Zheng’s expression was one of great anger. Then, Director Chen asked ekly, “Elder Zheng, what’s going on?”
“You’re still asking what’s going on? I should be asking you! You were the one who rigged the winners for the Youth Chinese Arts Cup, right? Did you have so kind of deal with that person on the phone just now? I’m only giving you one chance. If you don’t answer honestly, I’ll have you kicked out of here imdiately and I’ll also have you put in jail.” Zheng Zhong Shan said this in a very grave tone. He wasn’t giving the opposition any respect.
Master Lin wanted to leave the association. To others, perhaps this wasn’t a big issue. However, to them, this was like a thunderstorm.
When Director Chen heard what Elder Zheng said, he was dumbfounded. He had not expected that Elder Zheng would co because of this incident. He was montarily lost for words.
But at that mont, he understood that the man who he challenged on Weibo wasn’t just a simple man.
...
On the Internet.
“Haha, I’m dying of laughter. Since the Chinese Arts Association uploaded this post, Master Lin has disappeared.”
“What else could he do? Is he supposed to enjoy being shad?”
“That’s right. Let him quit the association if he wants. According to my knowledge, countless people want to join the Chinese Arts Association. There must be many people happy that he’s quitting.”
“F*ck! Hurry up and look at the Chinese Arts Association’s official account. Sothing big has happened.”
“What? What happened? Could it be that this matter has taken another turn?”
“See for yourself.”
At that mont, people who had been paying attention to this incident all turned their gaze to the Chinese Arts Association’s official Weibo.
In an instant, cries of shock were emitted from the Internet.
“F*ck! Sothing like this could happen?”
Chinese Arts Association official Weibo: “Sorry, Master Lin.”
Everyone couldn’t understand it. The Chinese Arts Association, which had been going against Master Lin a mont ago, suddenly said sothing like that.
When they saw the second post, everyone felt as if there was sothing wrong with their eyes. How could sothing like that happen?
